StartCom is not one of the standard Java runtime CAs but Wave in a Box
includes it, see:
http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/source/browse/src/org/waveprotocol/wave/crypto/DefaultTrustRootsProvider.java?repo=libraries

We chose StartCom because they have long worked together with the XMPP
community to produce free XMPP certs:
http://xmpp.net/issuance.shtml

As it happens, StartCom is also trusted by many browsers:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/included/
https://blog.startcom.org/?p=205
so it's also a good source of SSL certificates.

I don't think the standard Wave in a Box configuration includes CAcert
as one of its default trust roots at the moment.
